The storefronts are pink and red with chocolate heart boxes, De Beers reminds us that the best way to declare your undying love is to buy a shiny rock. So if you are planning to propose you couldn’t ask for a better day to pop the question.
Valentine’s Day is round the corner and it is such a beautiful day to propose to your loved one. It is a date that will forever be special to the two of you. Here are our top ten ideas that are sure to sweep your loved one off their feet.
Come fall in love again! Propose bollywood style. Whether you choose to propose like Dharmendar in Sholay, Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi or Saif Ali Khan in Love ke liye Kuch Bhi Karegaa, the most important thing is that it is a proposal that your girlfriend will remember and enjoy talking about for the rest of her life.
This classic all time favorite really works wonders. A nice romantic picnic with some chilled champagne to calm your nerves and gives you the courage to pop the question. Personalize the champagne bottle label and /or drop the ring in the glass for her to find.
Say it with Roses: Give her 3 roses one by one. For each rose tell her that one represents the past, one represents the present, and for the last one attach the engagement ring or have a note saying “will you marry me” on it. Then tell her this one represents the future. Oh how romantic! How could she refuse!
Web Page- With rapid growth in technology and all of us spending more time on the internet this is a perfect way to propose. Create a personal web page with his/ her name, the proposal, pictures of the two of you together etc. Then invite him/her to sit down and surf the web with you. What a beautiful surprise it will be to go through a website that is made just for you.
Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a cozy dinner at your favorite restaurant and have them bring a cake with “Will you marry me?” written on it for desert.
Traditional Approach – Ask her father for their daughter’s hand in marriage. At the next family gathering make a toast and propose to her. Having family around will make it special, and then after the proposal you both get to celebrate with the family.
Go out for a night of dancing and ask the DJ to pass you the mike so you can dedicate a song and propose on the dance floor.
Buy a pet that he/she’s always wanted (bunny, kitten, puppy) and loosely tie the ring around its neck. Or substitute a stuffed animal — still cute, but less maintenance!
We love this idea. Order a Chinese meal at home and at the end give her a fortune cookie with the sweetest message ever.
On the Radio: Call up your partner’s favorite local radio station and ask the DJ to send your proposal message on air. First, request a song that is meaningful to you and your significant other. After the song, propose. Be sure to ask the DJ when the message will be aired so that you may tell your mate when to listen or be present with him/her to make the most of the moment.
In the end all that matters is a message from the heart that is conveyed with love and some creativity.
